it could have been better than that!

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2005)

It's eye-catching that the movie comes out at a time where we start questioning the role of God-like geneticists in the stem-cell research field. The movie starts as an interesting sci-fi thriller- where a futuristic colony of people who apparently escaped from an over-contaminated outside world.In this Utopian everything is chosen for them-what they eat,what they wear,what they drink,do play etc.. The movie takes it origin from novels like like Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, and Richard Adams's Watership Down. I am not a regular follower of the director so it may not be right to take a critical point against his directive capabilities but to be honest after an interesting start I thought I would see a really interesting movie something better than "Equilibrium" but you know after the introduction I saw it just turned like any other crazy action movie a movie which is actually a pastiche "escape from dystopia" which at one point turns and takes a downhill course as just with crashes and explosions galore.. I also found the product placement pretty stupid. MSN Search, XBOX, Puma and Nokia are some of the concurrent advertised products in a grossly open way.You may sponsor a film but you don't have to distort its image right? Anyway in conclusion you can only have some fun if you are a sci-fi buff but if you are meticulous viewer don't waste your time!
